Why don't I? I used to do it all the time. I would experiment with different styles, different techniques, take inspiration from different things.
I picked up a copy of the latest Giant Robot magazine and saw art by Matt Furie, who I've never heard of before. I found his work to be crazy inspiring to me. It made me want to start drawing again. His stuff reminds me of stuff by Dehara, with that gritty, creepy surreal colored-pencil sheen to it. It's the type of art I'd like to get into making myself. I just feel so out of my depth art-wise these days. I feel very little confidence in it anymore. I am a junior-college art school drop-out. I left art and got a Bachelor's in Religious Studies. And it wasn't because I didn't like making art. It was because I lacked the patience to truly develop my skills and I just wasn't as good as I needed to be. Maybe it's time to take out the pencils and try again. With patience this time.
